Changes in your world don't come from trying to get others to change, trying to do big things, or getting into an important position. Change starts, and ends, with changing yourself. Everything else, the changes you make in to the world, follows from the changes you make within. Here are some good articles I've seen this week on the little changes you can make that change the world.

When the world shrinks into the palm of your hand, youll know what todo to change it.

Vision boards are the visual equivalent of an affirmation. Many people use them to focus, and manifest their world. In Howto Make a Vision Board, Christine Kane tells us three ways we can use them.

Most of us, as we grow up, go through at least a period of time when we forget how our lives and emotions come about, and let what we do and who we are be controlled by the circumstances in which we live. We put away our dreams and talents for the necessary task of supporting ourselves and our families. In Where did the Dreamer go? Craig Harper tells us about connecting with someone who was a dreamer when they were to school.

Thanks for the link! I love your own words about the idea of changing the world... "Changes in your world dont come from trying to get others to change, trying to do big things, or getting into an important position. Change starts, and ends, with changing yourself." That's so true, and so many people don't believe it, or forget it... and they spend their whole lives doing things like, shouting at people to be peaceful! More and more I'm getting how it's all about my own insides. Thanks for a great post!

Glad I could help inspire you Rick. One of my commenters left a note that sums it up: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." That's all I'm trying to do, one person, one article, one comment at a time.

Christine does a great job of explaining how to use the vision board. I'm going to be giving it place in my work. They bear a strong relationship to the use of symbolism in magic and religion, and so should be a very effective tool.

Rick,This piece is such a lovely tribute to so many others who hold a torch of kindness and thought for the world and the people we touch. Thank you for counting me among that group. Though I know your could not possible include everyone within our vast circles of interaction, I do see one under-represented that I would care to mention here. I hope that you don't mind. His name is Rick Cockrum.

Rick, your are quiet about your ways of helping. You observe to find out what folks need and then you quietly provide it. Sometimes it will come in a word, a sentence, maybe a blog post. Sometimes it will come in a act of geneosity -- a poem written when I had no time.

You make a beautiful mark on those who's lives you touch with your words and your deeds. I am changed because I know.Liz
